We present the actual situation of program distribution in Spain, insisting on
the tipology of users, their geographical situation, the informatics skills of
their specialists, etc. based on the spanish users database analysis, designed
for this kind of studies. We suggest the adoption of a standarized model of
users database, managed by the different National Distributors, for allowing to
extend this kind of studies to worldwide users, as an appropiate tool for
decision making on a future evolution of ISIS family programs.
Finally,
we comment some products developed by Spanish users based on CDS/ISIS programs.
In special:
- CD-ROM of Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales – Consejo
Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC): an Entomological bibliography of
Spanish authors.
- Comisión Científica del Pacífico. CSIC Project. It
describes the entreprise of Scientific Commission for Pacific. There's a website
set up (http://www.pacifico.csic.es) with all documentation.
-
Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia. Manes Project (School Manuals).
The MANES Investigation Center has it's main objective the investigation on
school manuals produced in Spain and Latin America during 19th and 20th
